Part 3/7:
Mike Tomlin, by nature, garners respect and admiration far beyond the Pittsburgh fanbase. Analysts and fans from other teams regard him as an elite coach, pointing to his ability to lead teams to the playoffs despite roster challenges. There is a consensus that if Tomlin were to become available, he would face fierce competition from franchises like the Bears, Jets, and Jaguars, eager to bring him onboard.
In stark contrast, the sentiment among Steelers supporters has soured considerably. For many, Tomlin has not delivered consistent results, particularly in the playoffs, with a notable absence of victories over the past eight years. Critics argue that while Tomlin recruits talent, he fails to put them in a position to succeed, thereby squandering potential championship opportunities.
